Why This Must Be Read: Chash writes great Clarke/Bellamy AUs, and this story is one of my favorite tropes we don’t see enough of in fic: the mail order bride. Bellamy is a rancher, and when his sister Octavia gets married she convinces Bellamy to place an ad for a wife, so that he isn’t running the ranch by himself. This is a fun, satisfying story that handles the mail order bride scenario really well, and features a Bellamy who’s still a virgin and a Clarke who has her own, definite reasons for moving west.
